5 Getting Started: ForceDecks Software

ForceDecks software is the heart of the ForceDecks system, taking previously laborious tasks and

performing them automatically to facilitate rapid testing of individuals in time-pressured

environments. These tasks include:

• Identifying what type of movement was performed;

• Identifying key characteristic time points within the movement (e.g. Start of Movement,

Take-off, etc); and most importantly

• Calculating actionable summary results.

The ForceDecks software suite includes:

• ForceDecks Windows application

• ForceDecks iOS application

• ForceDecks Jump

• ForceDecks LeaderBoard, and

• VALD Hub.

*Users must activate their ForceDecks software within 7 days of installing the software onto their

device, and annually thereafter.
